Can you add a
public void draw(java.awt.Graphics g, java.lang.String opts)
method to MDocument like you have in Molecule? We rely on this feature and would like to be able to take advantage of the features of documents.

Hi Trevor,
We do not plan to implement
MDocument.draw(java.awt.Graphics g, java.lang.String opts).
To draw the document on a graphics, we recommend the following way:
| Code: |
int x, y
Graphics g;
MDocument doc;
...
Image img = (Image)doc.exportToObject("image:w"+Integer.toString(Math.round(d.width))+
",h"+Integer.toString(Math.round(d.height)));
g.drawImage(img, x,y,null); |
(You can also use Molecule.toObject(String) by the same way.)
Is this solution suitable for you?

No - Using images does not preserve the information we need. This is an important issue for us.

Hi, we are quite reluctant to make an MDocument.draw() as MDocument is about storing object and not about drawing. We are happy to deprecate Molecule.draw() as well since were not happy to include that either ;) But seriously: could you please send a more elaborate example why you need this method?

We are using iText to generate pdfs - when using Molecule.draw to insert a molecule in the pdf the molecules come out clear with the atom labels identified as text. When using the Image method suggested earlier the molecule in the resulting pdf is fuzzy and the atom labels are not text.

Have you tried to insert SVG into PDF? Marvin can export scalable vector graphics like SVG.
Would it be a suitable solution for you?
If not, we are considering how to provide a painting method for you to draw the MDocument to the specified graphics.

I tried using SVG as an intermediate but the result looks different than it does in Marvin.

We will implement a draw(Graphics g,MDocument doc,String opts) method. Instead of the MDocument, we will place it into a new utility class.

I have implemented draw(Molecule,Graphics,String) and draw(MDocument,Graphics,String) methods in chemaxon.marvin.util.MPainterUtil class. It will be available in next release (4.1.6).
Since Marvin 4.1.6, Molecule.draw(Graphics,String) is deprecated. Instead of that, chemaxon.marvin.util.MolPainterUtil.draw(Molecule,Graphics,String) should be used.

Great! Thank you very much.
